MPESB Group 5 Recruitment 2026 result is out. The board declared it on 08 June 2026 and posted it the next evening, so pages still saying result awaited, ours included until today, are three months behind. The cut off is published as a percentile rather than as marks, and 12,682 of the candidates issued admit cards never turned up. Figures below are read from the board’s own result note and cut off files.
Result date and how to check
Two dates get quoted for this result. Both are correct, which is exactly why they conflict.
| Result question | What the board record shows |
|---|---|
| Result date | The result note is dated 08.06.2026 and signed at Bhopal. That is the declaration date on the document itself. |
| Result date 2026 | The results listing shows the file hosted on 09 June 2026 at 6:00 PM, which is when candidates could actually open it. |
| Where the result is | On the board’s results page under the 2026 recruitment test section, not on the exam portal used for the answer key. |
| Released | Seven separate files: result note, cut off, top 10, updated seat matrix, key committee recommendation, merit and waiting list, and marks details. |
| Board name | Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board, Bhopal. Older pages and searches still call it MPPEB, the earlier professional examination board name. |
Cut off percentile and category wise marks
This is where most pages go wrong. The board never published a marks cut off for this exam.
| Cut off question | What the cut off file actually contains |
|---|---|
| Cut off marks | None were published. The result note states the entire result is prepared on a Percentile Score basis, with the percentile rule set out in the rulebook. |
| Cut off percentile | Given to six decimal places, in two separate columns: a merit cut off percentile and a waiting cut off percentile for each line. |
| Category wise cut off | Broken down by post code, department, category, class and gender, so one college alone can carry a dozen different cut offs for different posts. |
| Category wise cut off 2026 | Within a single Vidisha medical college, Lab Attendant unreserved open closed at 99.964241 while the EWS sports quota line closed at 88.414089. A single state wide cut off number does not exist. |
| Cut off pdf | The cut off file runs to 16 pages and is a scanned image with no text layer, so it cannot be searched. You have to scroll to your post code. |

Exam date, attendance and answer key
The attendance figures in the result note are worth a look. They change what the competition actually looked like.
| Exam question | Figure from the result note |
|---|---|
| Exam date | 17.04.2026 to 23.04.2026, conducted online. Pages listing 15 April as the start date, including our own earlier version, had it wrong. |
| Exam cities | Eleven: Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur, Khandwa, Neemuch, Ratlam, Rewa, Sagar, Satna, Sidhi and Ujjain. |
| Admit cards issued | 36,784 subject wise, against 291 advertised posts. |
| Number of appeared | 24,102 sat the exam and 12,682 stayed away, so roughly a third of the candidates who had admit cards never appeared. |
| Real competition | Those 24,102 who did appear worked out at about 83 candidates for every one of the 291 posts. |
Merit list, waiting list and tie breaking
The result note sets out how candidates were ordered. Two of those rules decide the close calls.
| Merit list question | Rule the board applied |
|---|---|
| Merit list pdf | Published as a single combined merit and waiting list file, separate from the marks details file. |
| Merit list tie | Decided on the Final Score, which the board defines as pro score plus bonus score. |
| Still tied | The older candidate is preferred. Age seniority is the final tie breaker. |
| Waiting list | None was prepared. The result note states no waiting list was made for disabled candidates, whose posts were instead deducted from the open category seats. |
| Post preference | Result was built from the category, cadre, gender, date of birth, MP domicile and post preference each candidate entered on the online form. |
If your name is not in the merit list
A missing name usually has a dull explanation rather than a mistake.
| Problem | Likely reason |
|---|---|
| Result name not found | The lists are split by post code and department. A candidate who applied for several posts has to check each post code separately. |
| Below the cut off | Check the merit cut off percentile for your exact post code, category and gender line, not the headline figure for the post. |
| Waiting list cut off | The waiting cut off is a separate and lower percentile, so a name can be absent from merit and present in waiting. |
| Divyang result | No waiting list exists for this group, so there is nothing to appear in beyond the merit list. |
| Marks details | The marks details file carries the individual scores and is the file to check before assuming a mistake. |
